Haha, I haven't updated since February. :D It's Speech day tomorrow.
Anyway, i received a package/ parcel from Ruiqi in Hangzhou last week! (I'm so thrilled!) She sent me some local products, like a tin of Long Jing tea leaves (Dragon Well tea), which was the first grade type, some walnut snack,which tasted quite good [my family has finished the entire packet already:( ]. It must have cost a bomb!
My uncle came back from Suzhou the week before last (for Qingming) and he helped me to send some of Singapore's local products (like Bak Kwa and Tiger Balm) to both Dora and Ruiqi. :D The tiger balm was extremely bulky/ heavy and plus the Bak Kwa, the parcel weighed at least 300g.
It only cost 12RMB for each parcel, and a total of about 25 RMB for both parcels to be sent from Suzhou to Hangzhou, which is equivalent to about less than s$5. If I had sent it from Singapore, it would have cost more than S$20 for each parcel (enquired about this when I went to the post office to collect my parcel).
In addition, the courier service in China is extremely efficient! My uncle reached SZ on Tuesday, sent the parcels on Wednesday, and both of them received their parcels on Thursday. China's post service is indeed more efficeint than ours. Shan't elaborate on my unpleasant experience with them. :)
Some people may say that I am being lame as to send Tiger Balm, but they really want it okay! HAHA
